In order to simulate the real gauge, Nextwave Software has put much effort in adding realistic animation feaures for our Gauge written in Java. These include simulating the dampened needle, marker and range movements in Circular or Linear gauges. The Blinking and Scolling ability in Digital Panel. The flashing effect of LED and dampened toggling effect in Toggle Switch. 

It also supports insertion of inner component and gauge using GaugeItem. You can add a component by using use the X and Y coordinates to configure their position and its width and height. position is calculated from the center of the gauge. All components should be added to the gauge item collection. 

The custom tick is used to place a tick on any position between TickSetBase.Minimum and TickSetBase.Maximum. The example show how a custom tick is placed at value 0 (White) and 100 (Red). The custom label is used to place a label on any position between TickSetBase.Minimum and TickSetBase.Maximum. The example show how a custom label is placed at value 0 with the text set to C. The text is set to H at value 100.

Last and not least, by configurating the size metric of gauge elements in percentage, you are now able to resize the gauge. It supports anti-alias too!
